Binge eating Seagulls
Have you ever heard of binge eating bulimic Seagulls? They actually ate the crickets, went for a little drink in creek, then vomited them up and went back for more. This went on for 3 WEEKS until all the crickets were gone!
For those of you who don't know this story, the mormon pioneers just settled in the Salt Lake Valley (summer of 1848), they were into their 2nd year settling there in the valley, and they just went through a very hard winter, and desperately needed these crops to grow or they would starve. Drought, and late spring frosts killed lots of their crops already, and now the crickets were getting ready to finish off what they had left.
check out the quote:
“We were fearfully alarmed, for all of a sudden, circling above our … fields, appeared great flocks of screaming gulls. ‘A new plague is descending upon us,’ was our first thought. Down the gray and white birds swooped in hundreds, then in thousands, uttering shrill … cries as they pounced upon [the crickets]. … Then a strange thing happened. As soon as they had gorged themselves, they sailed over to a nearby stream, took a few sips of water, disgorged [vomited] and returned to join their screaming companions. All our people stood in wonderment! Our prayers were answered” (quoted in Grant, p. 446).
The seagulls came back day after day for about three weeks. They ate crickets until all the crickets were gone. The Saints knew their prayers had been answered in a miraculous way. They were grateful that their crops and their lives had been spared.

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Devon | 'Miracle' man survives 200ft fall
The airlift rescue was helped by good weather, said coastguardsA driver "miraculously" escaped alive after his car plunged over a 200ft (61m) cliff in north Devon, coastguards have said.
The man was airlifted from the car at Hartland Quay at about 0500 BST by a coastguard helicopter.
He is being treated at North Devon District Hospital. The extent of his injuries has not yet been revealed.
Swansea coastguards said they were uncertain about why the car went over the cliff.
Steve Jones, Watch Manager of Swansea Coastguard said: "It's miraculous that the occupant was found alive in the car and was talking to coastguards.
"It beggars belief. I think he is very lucky to be alive this morning."
Rescuers lowered
Hartland and Westward Ho! Coastguard Rescue Teams found the car on the beach below the cliffs at 0524 BST.
Lights and equipment were set up on scene and the fire service was called to help.
A rescue helicopter was also scrambled along with an ambulance.
Two coastguard cliff rescuers were placed on a line and lowered to the site of the car, where they found a man inside alive.
A winchman was lowered onto the beach from the helicopter and the injured man was taken to hospital.
Mr Jones said: "Fortunately the weather was benign this morning which helped the extraction.
"The car is in no danger of being overtaken by the tide and a plan will be drawn up on how to remove the vehicle from its present position."

Why I Believe
I'm a believer in God; I have faith. There are many reasons why I believe there is a greater being in the scheme of things. I'm going to give you one reason right now, and -if I remember- I'll give a reason each week or so.
It sometimes storms when I go out on my boat, but somehow the rain doesn't start until I get back into my house. I dock the boat and head inside. Almost as soon as there is roof above my head, down pour. And it's not just every once in a while or sometimes, it's every single time. Something keeps the rain from falling until I am inside.
Feel free to comment the reason(s) you believe/don't believe in a supreme being.
Nervousness, Anxiety, Stress? This Could Be Your Miracle...
There is a new drink on the market. It's called Drank. It's designed to be the opposite of an energy drink. It contains valerian root-known for its anti-anxiety/sedative effects-and melatonin-known for its sedative effects. Aside from the fact that nobody really knows how safe these chemicals are, Drank is a pretty cool idea.
I haven't tried the stuff, but it sounds like an under-21 legal beer or something.

How To Create a Business, Life, or Relationship Miracle. AKA the "Five Point Buddha Palm Strike of Heart Crushing Death!"
I like miracles. Miracles are cool. If you do a miracle in the presense of hot chicks, well, one could walk away with a lot of twitter @addresses. But most of all, miracles are cool because they are often the last and only option for solving otherwise insurmountable dilemmas.
Scientists say, short of a miracle, we can't reverse global warming or cooling or whatever the trendy arguement is. Short of a miracle, school administrators say we can't get our kids educated without being medicated. And ofcourse, economists say that we will need a miracle to get industries back in the black instead of running recession red.
I venture to guess that we all see the single common thread. The general concensus is that we are going to need another shot of espresso. Oh yes, miracle, that too.
So, in the interest of keeping mass hysteria at a low rumble, this is how you make a miracle happen. First of all, a miracle is only a miracle to someone who is not familiar with the mechanics of miraclistics.
Once you get your feet wet here, only supermiraclisticisms seem miraculous. So as to not wear down my IBM thinkpad keypad any more than necessary, let's keep the miracle heirchy there.
The secret of producing a miracle is two fold. First, make the possible occur in the eyes of someone who didn't think it was. Second, create confluence. Confluence. I can call it coincidence, I can call it serendipity, I can call it focus. Regardless, when all the conditions necessary to make an unusual circumstance come into alignment, you have a miracle - confluence (in the eyes of someone who believed that those circumstances would never - could never concur).
Seriously. The super-natural is only superior to someone who has a low ceiling on his definition of nature. The meta-physical is only greater than someone who has a small definition of physics. So the first rule of "Miracle club," is logically, "There is no miracle." There is only confluence, focus, and alignment.
Still to this day, there are civilizations that think an eclipse is a miracle. If you tell them when the next solar eclipse will occur, you can become their new Shaman and take several of their daughters as wives. To this day, if you create fire using nothing more than a magnifying glass, again, in these same villages, you could take several of their daughters as wives (if at this point, you surmise that I've seriously considered this, you underestimate me. I decided against this glorious shamanhood after one quick (albeit sweet) run through my mind. Can you say, "mother-in-lawS?")
When a British interviewer told a mountain dwelling master, "I don't believe you can levitate."
The master replied, "Well, that's ok. I don't believe you sent a man to the moon."
But to say focus and confluence isn't inspiring. These words don't carry the focus or confluence needed to inspire focus and confluence. It doesn't really hit the heart. So, I'm going to have to give away the secret of the ancient Daoist "Five Point Buddha Palm Strike of Heart Crushing Death!"
If you look at your palm and slowly make a fist, you'll see a point toward which all your fingers collect. This is the point on your palm that stays in the center. In acupuncture, it's called the "lao-gong point."
Now, imagine that the lao-gong point is the center of your magnifying glass and your fingers and heel of the palm the circumference. Further, imagine that your "mortal enemy Zhou Fu-Qin's (said with half second dubbing delay) aortic valve is the surface of your news paper. You get the picture. You can slap Zhou FuQin's chest in such a way that all the impact intersects in one spot causing instant cardiac arrest.
There would be no visible bruising. There wouldn't even be any redness on that FuQin's chest.
So at this point, if you're thinking this is impossible. This is how one would go about training for this ability. (THIS PART WILL BE REMOVED SOON) You stack a couple phone books. You slap the hell out of the phone books until you can leave a hand print. The paper fiber approximates muscle tissue. Then you keep slapping until you can leave your palm print on say, page 827. Then you keep slapping till you can make your palm print smaller and smaller. This is the same way you'd focus that magnifying glass. Once you get to a point where you can make your palm print the size of a pin point on page 827, you'll notice a miracle. That page will have a gaping tear in it. Confluence. Focus.
Go ahead, pick another page. Put a tear in it.
The next practice is to palm slap a full tub of water without making the water overflow. Make the force go straight down and come straight back up. Minimize all lateral dissipation of energy to zero. Olympic high divers do. then suspend an egg about heart depth from the surface of the water. Explode the egg by lightly slapping the water. Move the egg around. Change depths.
You get the picture. There are so many other ancient Kung-Fu "miracles," that modern scientists claim are "impossible." And they all have one thing in common. Focus.
We've all made friends here. We've all been mutually supportive. Let's all pick one lao-gong point and one newspaper surface to really FuQin something up. What say you?
PS. I begged a master on bloody knees for the secrets in my new ebook. Save yourself a perfectly good pair of jeans. Just buy it. http://master.journik.com
